Oh what a strange and confusing house this is! We'll start out with a bit of a recap on what happened yesterday. The house awoke yesterday morning and the general consensus of the house was that the twist was that America would be the MVP and nominate someone this week. That had the house somewhat relaxed as they all think they're pretty popular with America. Their somewhat relaxed state quickly passed when the nominee was announced.
Elissa, America's most valuable houseguest for the first three weeks was announced as the nominee. This had the houseguests going insane trying to make sense of everything. Surely America hadn't turned on Elissa that quickly? If America didn't turn on Elissa then who was the MVP??? Pretty much everyone was interrogated by everyone else and finally a new consensus was reached that Elissa must still be MVP but had chosen to nominate herself in a devious ploy to earn a special power. None of them could quite understand how that would work, but that was what they came up with. When questioned Elissa completely denied being the MVP and nominating herself.
With the house still in a highly confused state, it was time for the POV comp. The feeds went down for about three hours and then came back up as the houseguests were re-entering the house and Elissa had the POV medal. I'm not sure I've ever seen the houseguests that quiet after a comp. They all seemed a bit dazed and confused and more than a little bit scared.
In the POV comp the houseguests had to retrieve tiles with numbers on them to get the highest score. One houseguest got a reward (McCrae got $5,000 cash) while the rest got a punishment. Elissa got a veto pass that prohibits her from playing in the POV next week even if she's nominated. Helen got an 8 PM curfew at which time she had to go to bed and not talk to, or be talked to by any other houseguest. Judd got 24 hours in solitary confinement with an annoying alarm going off at routine intervals that he then has to shut off. Aaryn reportedly has to dye her hair but nothing has happened there yet. Kaitlin may have gotten nothing.
In the hours after the POV all kinds of speculation has gone on from the MVP now being for the Most Villainous Houseguest, to pretty much every houseguest having it and lying, to Andy who figured that maybe the top two vote getters were already nominated and Elissa was third on the list. (Good guess Andy.)
As the night went on everyone was suspicious of everyone else, some of the girls wrapped themselves in Saran wrap, McCrae had his birthday party, Amanda got a bit upset when a somewhat tipsy Elissa made unflattering comments to her, Amanda is now a pretty big target in the house and if she ends up on the block tomorrow (and it could be anyone) she could be gone. Aaryn has been trying to save herself, but only digs a deeper hole. The house now feels that the POV comp was rigged for Elissa with reports that the tiles in Elissa's lane had a higher value. (Ignoring of course that the lanes were chosen randomly and no one had to stay in their lane.)
So, today we'll have more nervous questioning of everyone as the house tries to unravel what happened, why Elissa was nominated, who has the MVP, who's likely to go up when Elissa comes down, what this all means for the game, and how does this affect everyone's plans?
I wasn't a big fan of the MVP twist, but the paranoia created yesterday may be swaying me a bit. It made for a very entertaining day on the feeds. Judd should be freed from solitary at 5:15 PM PT today, but the 24 hours in solitary typically ends early. Once production gets the footage they want, typically 18-20 hours in, they set the houseguest free. If Aaryn really does have to dye her hair that will likely take place this morning.
Other than a few nervous breakdowns and Nick's long delayed memorial after Judd's freed from solitary, things should be pretty quiet today. They're cleverly using Dan's funeral from last year after his release from solitary as an excuse to finally bury (in a drawer) Nick's stuff that GinaMarie continues to worship after Judd's release from solitary. (She carried Nick's chapstick in her bra for good luck at the MVP nomination yesterday.)
We have a show tonight! On tonight's show we'll see the aftermath of Jeremy's eviction, the end of the HOH comp, we'll see the houseguests discussing Julie's "expect the unexpected" comment. Then we'll see the teams get picked for the Have Not comp. GinaMarie apparently grabbed all of the bandanas of one color and then handed them out to the widows (Aaryn, GinaMarie, and Kaitlin) so they could avoid being Have Nots. Then we'll see the Have Nots comp followed by the nervousing as Judd debates who to put up. Then we'll see the nominations and that will be it for tonight. Wednesday's show should be quite entertaining though with the MVP reveal and the POV comp.
